How to Make a Generator at Home - Easy Way

Intro: How to Make a Generator at Home - Easy Way

Generator is a Device Which converts mechanical energy to electrical energy,in this instructable i made a small generator that can power up 24 leds recommended to watch video to see its working....

Bonus Tip: Check www.letsmakeprojects.com for much more interesting content

STEP 1: BASE

• For the base i've used small piece of plastic board
• one side of plasic board is attached with double sided sticky tape
• To the other side of tape all other parts will be held (used hot glue for extra strength)

STEP 2: MOTOR HOLDER

• To hold the motor i've used soda can
• one side of the can is placed on sticky layer of the tape,to increase the strength i've hot glued its edges

STEP 3: LIGHT SOURCE

• Ive used led panel having 24 leds i got this from broken lamp
• LED panel is glued to tape vertically
• Connections are made from motor to led panel
• To the end of motor shaft a plastic bottle cap is attached and hot glued

STEP 4: FLYWHEEL

• For the flywheel ive used old cd's (2 of them are coupled together)
• The other side of cap is glued to this flywheel
• Handle is made to rotate the flywheel by gluing a small handle (plastic tube)

STEP 5: GENERATOR IS READY..

• Simply rotate the cd using handle provided
• The led will glow
• sometimes if the connections between motor and panel is not proper then try rotating anti-clockwise Thank you for your time and patience,If u really like my instructable then dont forget to share and like this instuctables with your friends...

Interesting project useful to explains the principles and many ways to produce energy. I've found very interesting explain the beginning process of energy production the dynamo energy and using a bit of imagination the step forward is quick ;)

If the disc is replace by a small fan, it will becomes a small windmill when the fan is blowing towards it.
